About the Thomas Joseph Crossword

The Thomas Joseph Crossword is King Features Syndicate's compact daily, an 11×13 grid of about 50 clues that runs Monday through Saturday in newspapers and free online. This page covers a Monday puzzle. The byline is a syndicate pen name — it merges the first names of constructor Joseph LaFauci and his editor Thomas Sheehan — and the puzzle still follows the house style LaFauci set: straight-definition clues, short crossing-friendly fill, and no Monday-to-Saturday difficulty ramp. What trips solvers up is usually a dated reference rather than wordplay, and because the grid is small, one confirmed answer tends to finish the corner around it.
